Screens and scans: finding stocks worth your time

Build a short daily routine that surfaces Indian stocks in strong trends with sound setups.

Key ideas
  1. Start from the market: breadth and sector strength tell you whether to be aggressive at all.
  2. Relative strength against the index over three to twelve months finds leaders. Leaders tend to come from leading sectors.
  3. A sound base is a tight consolidation on falling volume after an advance. A breakout on high volume is the entry.
  4. Indicators describe price. Use one or two that you understand fully, such as RSI for regime and moving averages for trend.
